2783 [Stand by storm]
There are so many artists participating in the Hong Kong concert, which naturally tests the wisdom of the organizers.
How to adjust the order of singers’ appearance, how to maintain the enthusiasm of the audience, and how to prevent the artist from feeling wronged... It’s all about learning.
For example, big-name singers should be interspersed with small-name singers on stage. In this way, it is possible to avoid all small-name singers in front and not attract audiences. The back is full of big-name singers, which is a feast for the audience, but it is also easy to cause visual fatigue.
What's more, there are also grades between big brands.
Like Xu Guanjie, Zhang Guorong, Alan Tam, Luo Wen, Zhen Ni, etc., they are all singers who were the gods of the previous generation. They have a high status, but their popularity has declined relatively. The four kings are the overlords of the current music scene, but at the same time they are affected by new singers such as Zheng Yijian, Xu Zhian, and Gu Juji.
If you don’t distinguish them all and arrange them all in a mess, these singers will feel awkward. After all, singers will inevitably have knots in their hearts, and if they are forced to be assigned together, they are prone to accidents.
Therefore, it is not easy to adjust the order of singers to keep the audience enthusiastic and not make the singer feel wronged.
Finally, it took nearly a week to arrange the order of stars' appearances.
...
Finally, on August 15, Hong Kong will hold a charity concert first.
Hong Kong's top singers, such as the Four Heavenly Kings, Mei Yanfang, Alan Tam, Zhang Guorong, Luo Wen, Zhen Ni, Lee Keqin, and Chen Huixian, all came on stage to perform. Even Xu Guanjie, who announced his retirement in 1993, responded to the call to appear on stage again.
In addition, singers from other regions also participated in this concert, such as Taiwan’s Zhou Huajian, Ren Xianqi, Zhao Chuan, Wubai; Nanyang’s Robin, Chopstick Sisters, Muji, etc.
It can be said that this concert gathered Chinese singers from many regions such as Hong Kong, Nanyang, and Taiwan, which can be regarded as a grand event in the Chinese music industry.
Even in order to raise funds, Xia Tian personally took the stage and sang a song "Storm and Rain" written by him, composed by Luo Dayou and Xu Guanjie, to raise charity funds for the people in the disaster area.
...
The concert in the United States was held in Los Angeles and officially started on August 16th.
The entire concert will last for nine hours, basically from morning to evening. All the charity funds raised will be donated to China for flood control and disaster relief.
In addition, broadcast fees, advertising revenue, and the revenue from the final release of video tapes will continue to be transferred to China for post-disaster construction.
In order to raise money for the victims to the greatest extent, after taking Taiwan in Hong Kong in summer, he took a plane overnight to the United States to take the stage, and sang the charity song "Hand of Hope" written by Michael Jackson, which was composed by him.
One person went to two places in a row to take the stage in a row, spanning the entire Pacific Ocean, and it was hard to say that he had done his best. After the news reports were released, many viewers were extremely moved and called to donate, which also greatly increased the amount of donations.
In the end, the charity fundraising concert in Los Angeles raised a total of 76.5 million US dollars, the live-aid concert in more than 85 years.
This is mainly due to inflation. In addition, the US economy is now taking off due to the emergence of new technologies such as the Internet, computers, and smart devices. Therefore, the public is generally more surplus than in 1985, so they are more willing to pay for help.
Hong Kong also raised a total of 30 million Hong Kong dollars in donations. Although not too much, you should know that the Hong Kong people have just emerged from the economic crisis and are not too rich. For them, 30 million Hong Kong dollars have already done their best.
In addition, both concerts released mmcd and record collections, which raised nearly 40 million US dollars, and were eventually donated to the mainland by Xiatian, greatly supporting the mainland's post-disaster reconstruction work.
...
In addition to raising nearly 1.3 billion US dollars in donations, the two concerts attracted a total of more than 1.3 billion viewers. This number also broke the record of the last live-aid charity concert.
Because there are so many audiences watching, all the singers involved have received good publicity opportunities, which is worth the trip for them.
More importantly, these two concerts are also objectively promoting mainland China because they are fundraising funds for floods in mainland China.
Xia Tian specially photographed the soldiers forming a wall to block the dam. The victims were properly placed in tents by the Mansion. The troops' mobile dining trucks cooked for the victims, and the children studied in temporary tents. They were constantly broadcast at concerts.
In this way, on the one hand, it shows the great image of soldiers fighting floods and surviving for the country and the people, fighting and pursuing safety and ignoring safety; on the other hand, it shows that the Chinese government is a responsible government. They did not evade responsibility after the disaster, but did their best to resettle the victims and ensure their production, life and study...
These are all very shocking to foreigners. They thought that the Chinese Mansion was very violent and authoritarian, and the people in the mainland lived in dire straits. But now when they saw the videos and photos, they realized that it was not the case at all.
Moreover, they were also very surprised and shocked to see the army so desperately trying to relieve disasters. Because in the United States, the relationship between the people and the army is very estranged.
That year, super typhoon Katrina invaded Florida, causing huge damage. Millions of people were forced to move, more than 400,000 children were homeless, and direct economic losses exceeded 200 billion US dollars.
The damage caused by this storm was so great, but it was not until four days later that US President Bushi sent troops to fight the disaster. Moreover, the army rushed to Florida, not with disaster relief supplies, logistics supplies, etc., but with live ammunition and armored vehicles entering the disaster area.
This is not the same as entering the disaster area with large and small vehicles loaded with disaster relief items. Moreover, after the US military entered the disaster area, its primary task was not to rescue the victims, but to maintain public order.
Because after the typhoon, Florida was in chaos, with robbery, murder, burglary and other repeated bans. The police had no way to maintain public order and could only ask the army to dispatch it to shock the scoundrels. The victims could only continue to endure the days of displacement, loss of relatives, and lack of food and clothing.
Compared with the two, the Chinese people are happier than the American people. This makes many foreign people unbelievable for a moment. They always think that they live in developed countries and have precious democracy and freedom, but from the perspective of disaster relief alone, the power they enjoy is just a joke of deceiving themselves.
